He posted a picture which features president Emmerson Mnangagwa and two late former government ministers, Ellen Gwaradzimba and Perrance Shiri and captioned:<\/p>\n

The vaccine can\u2019t come soon enough<\/p>\n

The duo is said to have succumbed to COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there are mixed feelings with regards to the COVID-19 vaccines which are being developed in some developed countries.<\/p>\n

The division over whether to take or not was triggered by conspiracy theories which say the vaccines are a weapon \u201cwhite people\u201d want to use to depopulate Africa.<\/p>\n

Some say the vaccine is the mark of the Beast (666) prophesied to come at the end of times in Revelation in the Bible.<\/p>\n

The theory has however been described as baseless with South African opposition leader, Julius Malema saying Africa would be without people if the \u201cwhites\u201d wanted to depopulate it since almost everything consumed on the continent is made by white people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
